System Configuration via sdconfig
This section describes the SDConfig tool used to configure all eyeInspect systems.
The sdconfig tool is a configuration utility used for configuring the eyeInspect system. The
sdconfig tool is launched from the command line (by running sudo sdconfig)
and can be accessed either by logging in to a system via SSH, through a physical terminal in
case of deployment on a physical server, or through a hypervisor client.
The following table describes the available options based on whether a Command Center or a Passive/Active Sensor is installed on the server. Click each feature name to know more about the respective feature.
